Anthony Carter added 24 points and Jose Calderon collected 15
and 13 assists for the Raptors, who shot 62 percent (26-of-42)
in the second half in picking up back-to-back wins.

"We have to realize nice guys sit at home and watch the
playoffs," Bosh said. "That's just how I feel, maybe I'm wrong.
But if you play with intensity, you're more likely to win and
you're more likely to play better basketball."

The Timberwolves shot 15-of-25 in a blistering first quarter to
take a 37-25 lead but quickly cooled, clinging to a 56-52 lead
at the break and holding serve in the third quarter before
watching Toronto run away in the final period.

"We want to get to a good start and when it doesn't happen we
don't want to panic and continue to play the ball we want to
play," Bosh said. "They were making shots, and we let that
dictate our defense, but we woke up after a while and got it
right.

"Tonight, everyone was thinking attack and getting out on the
break and we showed another dimension and it seems to be working
out. It's fun to play that kind of basketball, everybody's
touching the ball, everybody's getting their shots and we have
chances for second-chance points. We're running the floor and
playing good defense which is the kind of basketball people want
to watch and guys want to play."

Minnesota tied the game at 84-84 on Mike Miller's jumper to open
the fourth quarter and pulled within 105-103 on Rodney Carney's
dunk with 4:58 left. But Toronto used a 10-3 run over the next
3 1/2 minutes to put the game away.

Parker scored 11 points in the fourth quarter and scored 19 in
the second half while Bosh and Bargnani combined for 29 after
the break.

"We were being aggressive and guys were slashing to the basket
and guys were making extra pass and the ball was moving, and
that's when we are playing our best," Parker said.

Shawn Marion continued to acclimate himself with the Raptors'
system, chipping in 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists,
two blocks and a steal in over 37 minutes.

Randy Foye scored 25 points and Ryan Gomes added 23 for
Minnesota, which fell to 1-5 without Al Jefferson in the lineup.

"We miss that presence in there of a shot-blocker, rebounder and
just a guy who clogs up the middle like (Jefferson) and that
really helps us," Timberwolves rookie center Kevin Love said.
"I haven't been known as a shot-blocker so we really miss him."

Minnesota's biggest shortcoming with its anchor, Jefferson, on
the shelf has been on the defensive end, where it has allowed an
average of 111 points in the past six contests.

"Our scoring is fine, our defense has to get better: that's the
bottom line," Timberwolves interim coach Kevin McHale said. "We
can't give up that amount of points. We don't have that
security blanket throwing it inside to the horse (Jefferson) and
everybody can rest."
